suggestions for stopping scammers.

[curtklze]

I have seen alot of deadbeat customers at the last shop I worked at.

They would come in and ask for car repairs on credit, "can I give you post dated checks", can I pay you in installments" that sort of thing.

"dont you have a credit card?" nope.
"well you can apply for our shop credid car, it has no payments of 90 days"
(like circut city or future shop card) they werent approved, and those cards aprove every one.

so my old boss would take a bunch of post dated checks or what ever, and 80% of the time the person couldnt pay off the bill or the checks would bounce ect....

Moral....there is a reason a person dont got credit.......................THEY DONT PAY THEIR BILLS!!!!!!!!


lesson for us....if they dont have a paypal account there is probably a reason. " I only take cash or money order"... "this way its easyer to steal your money".

If you pay through paypal you can file with paypal and get your money back if they dont ship.

there is no reason why some one cant open a paypal account.

Before using PayPal, you should visit this site first. I highly doubt I will use PayPal ever again.

The only thing I found bad about Paypal, of course it happened to me when I got screwed by Antonio on this site, was there buyer protection. The loop hole is you can only get a charge back if there is money in the account. Like with Antonio, he didn't have any money in the account, and probably stop using it, so I didn't receive anything. And Paypal won't give personal info about the other person no matter what. Everything else is cool.

maybe with the execption of people like me who just turned 18 and are to lazy to get a credit card or would just blow the whole credit in one shot on our car! but i know as soon as i get one thats exactly what i would do right away!!
